Home learning 11th May to 15th May
Congratulations – you have reached the Year 6
milestone: SATs week! Of course, we won’t actually be doing SATs papers,
but to ‘celebrate’, we have included the option of doing some assessments,
should you wish to see how well you could have done!* Perhaps you could
challenge your adults to do them with you to see if they can score higher than
you?
The assessments have been set for you through
Education City. These can be found under ‘Classwork’ > ’MPS SATs week beg
11-5-2020’. The time limits range between 20 to 40 minutes but you are able to
click through the questions at your own pace.
*Please note this is just
for fun, not an accurate assessment of your ability.

Choose between:
‘End of Year Assessment:
Number, measurement, geometry, statistics, ratio and proportion’ on Education
City
Or
Find an old receipt for
some shopping (you may need to ask an adult for this). Don’t look at the
total!
Round each price to the
nearest whole pound and find an estimated total. For example, if something
costs £1.48 you’d round it to £1 and if something costs £1.76 you’d round it
to £2.
What’s your estimated total
for all the items? What was the actual cost of the shopping? What is the
difference? How much higher/lower was the actual cost than your rounded
estimate?

Weekly Tasks
Science
|
This week we will look at
inheritance. We have touched on this topic before and this is an activity to
consolidate our learning. Go to Education City > classwork and carry out the
activities called “Science of Inheritance”. There is a vocabulary
activity, a “thinklet” - a question for you to try and answer in as much
detail as possible. Then an activity to complete.
Extension task: have a look at this video. It outlines the ongoing
debate among scientist about how much of our character is down to nature
(biology) and how much is nurture (environmental). What do you think?
|
Geography
|
Look at a number of different geographical locations and environments.
Think about your individual preferences for places to spend time anywhere in
the world. Select a location and write an explanation of why you would choose
to be in that chosen place and what you would enjoy seeing and doing there.
|
Computing
|
Take a walk around your local community to see how it is being
affected by human behaviour. Take digital pictures of both positive and
negative signs of activity such as car parking, litter, vandalism, graffiti,
new planting and signs of new building.
Turn your images into a digital photo story, sorting them into
constructive and destructive elements of your local environment and adding
transitions, animations and text.
What could you do to improve your local area? How can you make a
positive contribution?

Don't forget to reply to the email sent to your adults
from your teacher. Also, we'd love to see some of the work you are doing –
either by email (to your teacher) or upload to padlet https://padlet.com/cargyle/y6homelearning to
share with year 6 adults and students. Equally, if you have any problems with
accessing or understanding this learning please email your teacher.
Here is an optional extra creative project for you to check out – you might
find it very interesting: https://www.howiseetomorrow.com/
Lastly, don’t forget to continue reading daily and practicing your
handwriting and times tables.
